Daily News continued to report on the case of two painters who were rescued at a Pak Kret condominium by a British man and his Thai wife.

 

One called Song had his support rope cut and police believe this was done by a woman five floors below.

 

She denies charges of attempted murder and criminal damage. 

 

It happened last week at the Lumpini (Ha Yaek Pak Kret) condo in Nonthaburi, a 32 story block. The painters were rescued on the 26th floor by the couple and a video received much attention online.

 

DNA is being checked in hopes that it will implicate the woman.

 

Yesterday police, forensics and the painters and their boss all reenacted what happened.

 

Song said he didn't want to do that but felt it was necessary for the investigation. He is still haunted by what has happened. His parents have advised him to be careful in future. He intends to continue in this job as he can't do anything else.

 

Police said they have more than enough evidence to proceed with the case having completed the reenactment. They didn't comment on the DNA findings as yet.

 

Meanwhile the media reported that relatives have removed the female suspect from the block to another location.

You would have to be crazy working like that..... very strict training for rope workers is mandatory everywhere..

However, there must have been back-up safety equipment/rope being used and the guy didn't fall.....from what I can understand.

In any case....there should have been a proper platform for these guys....26 floors up hanging on ropes doesn't pass my test!

''Police say they have evidence aplenty''

 

You just don't see the word 'aplenty' used enough these days. That has cheered me up for reasons I cannot explain.

Hang her up on the 26th floor of the same building and hold a knife to her rope and she will sing like a canary implicating herself over and over again. ???? 

Were they wearing the Ubiquitous Flip Flops ?

Next to me, they are building a new condo.

Scaffolding is ridiculous and those guys walk around on them without any safety equipment and often just in flip flops. I am surprised that we don't hear every day that someone just falls off.

Yes, but so would most people, regardless if they were guilty or not...

apparently they have enough evidence. Would just be funny to see if she would admit or rather die. 

the woman's obviously a nut case ready for ward A1

That's strange, I cannot recall ever being married to her.

 

he was obviously doing a bit more than painting 

 

hell hath no greater fury than a woman scorned

Where did you learn your interrogation techniques?

 

"Meanwhile the media reported that relatives have removed the female suspect from the block to another location. "

 

Why is she not in police custody? Is she such a hi-so  or bnows too many influential people. The Police say that have enough evidence, so go get her ready the court case and ensure she does not get bail.

So the victim has PTSD and they make him re enact the crime when they already have enough evidence against the woman? TiT

No it wouldn't be funny to see anyone given that choice.

Ha, its not allowed to cut the ropes, then it is attempt to murder.

Think about all the people working in Abu Dabi on the new stadiums for soccer world championship.

They let people work without any safety, until now in 10 years time more then 6500

people died at building over there. That is more then 2 people /day, that isnt murder?

I ve seen Thai worker on bamboo "scaffold" working, one foot on one pole , other on another pole, hand wrapped again around another pole and then working with one hand.

No safety line at all. If i would have done that in my country at work, they would have fired me.

But there are jobs, you are connected with only a line to do your work. 

 

But this, extern factor deciding over your life by cutting the rope?

I could almost see this as the new normal in this world. Be aware who is around you or you could end up, ...dead.

I don't get it. The women lived in the building? Same side from where the painter died from? Was the painter young or the same age as the lady? She looks yoing in the picture ? Is lady relative to the painter wife/girlfriend? Now! Does both parties know each other in some way??  More to come let's hope ????

No. You just have to look at the photograph. If that doesn't convince you watch the video here

It was his safety rope (otherwise known as restraining rope) that the lady cut. She cut it below him, so if he had continued his descent he would have been unprotected had his main rope failed.

 

As far as I can tell they are using standard rappelling techniques for this kind of work,

I hope the police know where that might be... as she's facing [possible] attempted murder charges.

Unfortunately, that was just "the OP's" version of the original report, the Daily News actually described the evidence as "strong"!
